banned – Mallaband-Brown

Apparently I was fraudulent or trying to get money from people.

If you’ve ever read my blog here I think it’s obvious that I am friendly and try to be helpful. I was doing the same thing on Threads. Maybe I was too nice.

I had found a place I thought I could write useful things, trying to be a good honest person. Clearly that doesn’t fit their algorithm.

There’s no one to talk to or email. No way to challenge this as far as I can see.

As it is I’m proclaimed guilty without any way to explain myself. Evicted by AI apparently. Guilty and no way to prove innocence. Cut off from new friends, ghosted by the machine!

Is this fair? Is it possible to get it overturned? Does anyone else have any experience on this? What about free speech.

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

What possible word could be banned? What language would it be in? Would it be an old word or new? Could it be a profanity or a religious word?

The question what word would you ban from general usage is impossible if I were to make the choice. Thinking about so many words that I hate or dispise gets me nowhere. Words that are political, or hate filled may have a use in describing a group or a situation. Remove the word and you remove the significance of it. Like editing out a person from a photo, you don’t remove the existence of them. You just try and hide a secret that should be left visible.

And again, what language is it in? I only speak and write English, but is the word German, or Swahili, Moroccan, Portuguese? What right do I have to chose? I say again, this is impossible.

I’m sure certain words do spring to mind. Perhaps we should consider using different words instead, not putting a blanket ban on it but considering a substitute.

What do you think?
